What I love about it but can't seem to find elsewhere is that it has good coverage and sits right below the ribcage and the sweetheart neckline. All I seem to find are tankinis (too long) and bikinis (too little). I'm a size M-L and would like to stay under $50 (for just the top). Any color/print would be ok with me! Please help! Thanks! Carina"

This was surprisingly hard, Carina! Even though there are lots of retro-style bikinis out there right now, the tops are still pretty small even though the bottoms have more coverage. We found a few below, and also gave you the option of a tankini that you could take to a seamstress to get cropped (wouldn't cost much). Hope one of these makes you feel like a retro bathing beauty!
